Outlook 2010 – make it use the only profile automatically

default-profilemicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2010user-profiles

I recently had to re-install my machine with Windows 7 x64 Professional, and Office 2010 including Outlook.

Since that new installation, whenever I launch Outlook, it prompts for the the profile to use – I only ever have a single one. I cannot seem to make it use that profile as the default – even though I clicked on that option in the "Choose profile" dialog box every time since reinstallation….. doesn't seem to stick. Can't seem to find a way to set up that feature in Outlook itself, either…. any ideas??

Check this page, specifically the section towards the bottom "How to configure Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003 to open a specific email profile". I think it's a control panel setting you need to change.

Install AutoIt

Paste the text below into a Notepad window and save it as outlookProfile.au3 (change the Save As Type dropdown to All Files)

    WinWait("Choose Profile")
    if (WinActivate("Choose Profile")) Then
      ControlClick("Choose Profile", "OK", "Button2")
    endif

WEnd

Double click the file.
You may want to add a shortcut to your startup so that you don't have to run it each reboot. To make it run on startup you want to copy a shortcut of the file to the Startup folder in the Start Menu:
```
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
```
